Because they promised it in compensation and then got away with cutting it out? Your statement is a contradiction (or a lesson that you lack reading comprehension) because I said they offered these programs that they cut back or took away. That makes them crooks. People like you are why corporations have gone out of control in the last 10 years.

Were you unable to quit that job and seek other employment? If what they did was so unreasonable, it is reasonable to assume you could find employment else where with benefits equal to that which you were originally offered. Maybe, however, economic times were tough, and to maintain their profits, and thus existence as companies, companies throughout the industry were making these cuts not by choice, but out of necessity.
The fact that at any time you were free to seek other employment is why it is not theft or immoral. It is in the companies best interest to keep and attract the best employees by offering the greatest compensation. Thus, employees themselves are a market in which companies compete. Your company must balance their output to maximize profits given the resources (including employees) available to them. It is in their best interest to have as many employees as possible to a point where further employment reduces efficiency. The simple fact was that in your industry, there was not enough business to support the number of employees and thus those greater numbers of employees being less profitable, the companies were able to offer lower compensation and stay competitive because their over all demand in the employee market was lower than it was when they hired you.
There are actual economics behind a lot of this stuff - not everything in business is that "they're thieves and hate their employees.. and kittens".
